T850 MANUAL TRANSAXLE
DESCRIPTION
The NV T850 5-speed transaxle (Fig. 1) is a con-
stant-mesh manual transaxle that is synchronized in
all gear ranges, including reverse.
The transaxle consists of three major sub-assem-
blies: the input shaft, intermediate shaft, and differ-ential assembly. The transaxle shift system consists
of a mechanical shift cover, rails, forks, and cables.
The unique design of this shift system provides a
higher mechanical advantage, resulting in less fric-
tion and lower shift cable loads for smoother, more
positive operation.

The NV T850 transaxle is available with the 2.4L
Gas and 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine options. Unique
gearing tailored to the performance characteristics of
each engine provides optimum driveability, gradabil-
ity, and acceleration. The gear ratios are as follows:
GEARRATIO (2.4L
Gas)RATIO (2.5L
TD)
1st 3.65 3.46
2nd 2.07 2.05
3rd 1.39 1.37

TRANSAXLE IDENTIFICATION
NOTE: Since transaxles use unique gear ratios for
each of the two engine applications, it is imperative
that the transaxle is properly identified, and the cor-
rect transaxle assembly number is used when
ordering service parts.The transaxle model, assembly part number, build
date, and final drive ratio (FDR) can be found on a
metal tag fastened to the transaxle case on the bell-
housing (Fig. 2). A barcode label is also glued to the
transaxle bellhousing, and it too includes the trans-
axle part number.

OPERATION
NEUTRAL
Engine power is transmitted to the input shaft via
the clutch assembly and the input shaft turns. Since
no synchronizers are engaged on either the input or
intermediate shafts, power is not transmitted to the
intermediate shaft and the differential does not turn
(Fig. 3).
Fig. 3 Neutral Gear Operation
RST850 MANUAL TRANSAXLE21 - 311
T850 MANUAL TRANSAXLE (Continued)

1ST GEAR
Engine power is transmitted to the input shaft via
the clutch assembly and the input shaft turns. The
input shaft first gear is integral to the input shaft,
and is in constant mesh with the intermediate shaft
first speed gear. Because of this constant mesh, the
intermediate shaft first speed gear freewheels until
first gear is selected. As the gearshift lever is moved
to the first gear position, the 1-2 fork moves the 1-2
synchronizer sleeve towards first gear on the inter-
mediate shaft. The synchronizer sleeve engages the
first gear clutch teeth, fixing the gear to the interme-
diate shaft, and allowing power to transmit through
the intermediate shaft to the differential (Fig. 4).

2ND GEAR
Engine power is transmitted to the input shaft via
the clutch assembly and the input shaft turns. The
input shaft second gear is integral to the input shaft,
and is in constant mesh with the intermediate shaft
second speed gear. Because of this constant mesh,
the intermediate shaft second speed gear freewheels
until second gear is selected. As the gearshift lever is
moved to the second gear position, the 1-2 fork moves
the 1-2 synchronizer sleeve towards second gear on
the intermediate shaft. The synchronizer sleeve
engages the second gear clutch teeth, fixing the gear
to the intermediate shaft, and allowing power to
transmit through the intermediate shaft to the differ-
ential (Fig. 5).
